Authorising Instructions and Templates
Use the Authorisation Summary tool to authorise, return for repair or cancel instructions. Payment
records of rejected, cancelled or processed status have a retention period of 35 days.
Payment authorisation begins from the point when HSBCnet Payments service receives a valid paymentinstruction and now that instruction is ready to be authorised. The number refers to items pending for
authorisation at the customer level. At the user level, items may be fewer depending on accounts you
are authorised to pay.
The restricted template number refers to templates pending authorisation.
Authorisation Summary tool
The Authorisation Summary tool allows you to choose payment instructions and restricted templates to
authorise or reject. Additionally, payments can be sent back to the preparer for repair.
The System forwards payment instructions to an authoriser with required account privileges. Variousstatuses of authorisation exist. The last authoriser sends the instruction to the bank, otherwise
instructions are sent to the next authoriser. The payment and template summaries provide general
information and show actions you can take.
● To view payment details, select View payment details
● To process the item, select Authorise
● To send further instructions to the preparer, select Send to repair queue
● To remove the item from the list, select Reject

Authorisation conditions
Authorisers must be:
●
Entitled authoriser for accounts from which payments are made
●
Set up with sufficient daily authorisation limit
● Assigned to a particular signature group. The account group is an account
management feature giving electronic signature authority to authorised groups
● Creator and Authoriser Users can be the same User under sole transaction control or
using restricted templates (depending on signature group setup)
● Authoriser can send the instruction to repair if no user in Reviewer role set up
● Your scenario may show the possibility of multiple levels of authorisation
System-suggested value date
Authorisers can process payments pending authorisation that have no value date or have an expired
date. HSBCnet uses a date rollover feature to suggest a replacement date. Authorisers can accept the
suggested date and continue processing. This rollover feature simplifies authorisation, as preparers are
no longer required to update value dates.
Value date rollover works with both single and bulk authorisations for many payment types.
● ACH Credits (with conditions)
● ACH Debits
● Eurozone Payment
●
Inter-account Transfer
● Priority Payment
For ACH Credits, a whole instruction is considered expired if any one value date of second party entries
has expired.
For single authorisations, the Authorise option alerts you when the value date has expired. The system
suggests another value date, which you can accept, or decline.
For bulk authorisations, the Authorise option alerts you when any one value date has expired. The
system suggests another value date for all affected instructions. You can accept or decline the
suggested date, which then updates affected items pending.
Value date rollover exceptions
Value date rollover will not work with:
● Digitally signed payments
● Payments requiring Get Rate service
● Payments created from restricted templates

Authorising recurring payments
When you authorise a recurring payment, if a final payment amount has been specified, the system will
validate your (authoriser’s) daily authorisation limit against the higher of the two amounts. Additionally,
you only need to authorise the first payment of the batch. Subsequent payment instructions in that batch
do not require additional authorisations.
Authorising recurring payments
If you modify a recurring payment instruction that has already been authorised, the instruction will again
require authorisation from an appropriately entitled User.
Authenticating your payment transaction
You are required to digitally authenticate your payment transactions using your Security Device when
creating or repairing certain types of payments. Follow the on-screen instructions to authenticate
yourself.
Note: Payment transaction authentication only applies to Users who have been allocated the new
Security Device.

Getting foreign exchange rates
Foreign currency exchange is available for Priority Payments and Inter-account Transfers. Several
stages of processing precede a request for a rate quotation. Getting a foreign exchange rate follows
steps for authorising payment instructions. At the final level of authorisation, the HSBCnet Payments
service links authorised users with HSBCnet
Get Rate service.
From the Authorisation summary, determine which items to authorise. Payment instructions which1.
may be eligible for Get Rate are marked with a ‘$’ symbol.
Authorisation Summary
Choose one of the following options to authorise the payment.2.
● Authorise selected one by one to authorise the checked items one at a time
● Authorise option from the Action link for the specific instruction
Note: You cannot authorise multiple payment instructions using Authorise Selected when any of the
instructions in that batch are eligible for Get Rate (marked with $ sign). Get Rate eligible transactions
must be authorised individually.
Tip: To authorise a batch of payment instructions using Authorise Selected option, exclude Get Rate
eligible transactions.
Alternatively, select the link in the amount column of the instruction you wish to authorise to review the
details before you authorise it. The Payment Authorisation – Details page appears.
